Lee County Public Adjuster for Hurricane, Flood & Roof Claims

Hurricane Ian devastated large parts of Fort Myers and Lee County in 2022, and Helene and Milton added more storm surge and wind damage in 2024. Thousands of homeowners and business owners have faced catastrophic losses and a complex, often contentious claims process. Years later, many are still fighting underpaid settlements or dealing with damage the original inspection missed.

Crestview is licensed to represent Fort Myers policyholders, bringing experienced advocacy to residential and commercial claims across Lee County. Whether your claim involves hurricane damage, roof damage, flooding, or a settlement you believe was too low, we’ll review your situation and fight for a better outcome.

In flood zones, FEMA’s “50% rule” can require substantially damaged homes to be elevated or rebuilt to current code, so we also check your policy for ordinance or law coverage that can help pay for those upgrades.

Serving Fort Myers, Lee County and Southwest Florida

Whether your property is near the historic downtown riverfront, on the barrier islands of Sanibel and Captiva, or in one of Lee County’s growing neighborhoods, Crestview’s licensed Florida adjusters come to you. We inspect the damage on-site, document every loss, and handle your claim from start to finish.

Areas we serve: Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Estero, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, Naples, North Port and Charlotte County. Contact us to schedule a free on-site assessment.

Insurance Claim Services Available in Fort Myers

Crestview Public Adjusters handles a comprehensive range of property damage insurance claims in Fort Myers and across Lee County. Our licensed team manages your claim from assessment to settlement.

Roof Damage Claims

After Ian, many Lee County roof claims were underpaid or denied as "wear and tear." We document storm damage to tile, shingle and metal roofs and push for full replacement where your policy allows.

Water Damage Claims

From AC line leaks to burst pipes and water heater failures, we manage water claims for Fort Myers homes and condos from inspection through final payout.

Flood Damage Claims

Storm surge and rising water hit Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Cape Coral canal homes hard. We document flood losses and help you meet strict flood policy requirements.

Storm and Wind Damage Claims

Hurricane winds tear off roofs, windows and lanai screens across Lee County. We document every storm-related loss so your claim reflects the full damage.

Mold Damage Claims

Southwest Florida heat and humidity turn water damage into mold within days. We document affected areas and push for coverage before it spreads.

Fire Damage Claims

We inspect fire and smoke damage, inventory lost contents, and build a claim that covers the full cost to rebuild your Lee County property.

Business Interruption Claims

When a storm closes your business during peak season, we recover lost income and extra expenses, not just the cost of repairs.

Underpaid Insurance Claims

Settled for less than your repairs cost? We reassess the damage and fight for the full compensation you're owed.

I highly recommend Crestview Public Adjusters. They worked diligently to recover my losses from a flood in my apartment. They were always accessible, always responsive and ultimately got me what I was owed, something I could not have done on my own.

Josh and his team at Crestview Public Adjusters were extremely easy to work with. A tree fell on our house after a storm and I reached out to Josh and he went to work right away. He made the process really easy and answered all of my questions. His team took care of everything and the results were excellent.

Crestview was an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a call from a long term commercial tenant at 6am the morning after Hurricane IDA saying there is 4 ft of water filling up the space and that they were doing a walk through that day to sell their business. Crestview got their contractors over right away . We were able to prevent a lot of damage due to their quick response. Once onsite, they assessed all of the damage, we discussed rebuild plans and there was little for me to do as a landlord other than cash a check. Josh's assessments' were accurate and he was easy to communicate with. They also took a holistic approach to maximize my payout and even got the physical payment expedited so we can begin the rebuild. I would definitely use them again.

A tree fell on my house and knocked the chimney through my roof. I told my friend how hard it was dealing with the insurance company. He told me to call Crestview Public Adjusters and I am so happy I did. They handled everything for me with the insurance company and even helped me find a contractor to do the repairs. I couldn't be happier that I used them. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. Give them a call for all your insurance claim needs. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Fort Myers Public Adjuster FAQs

Florida's deadlines for new and supplemental Ian claims have likely passed, but that doesn't always mean you're out of options. If your claim is still open, in appraisal or in dispute, a public adjuster may still be able to help. Contact us for a free review of where your claim stands.

Absolutely. Underpaid claims are one of the most common situations Crestview handles in Lee County. If you received a settlement that does not reflect your actual losses, we can review your claim, identify where the shortfall occurred, and pursue a supplemental or reopened claim on your behalf.

Key documentation includes photos and video of all damage, repair estimates from licensed contractors, a full copy of your insurance policy, all previous correspondence with your insurer, and any prior inspection reports. Crestview helps clients compile and present this evidence in the strongest possible format.

It might. In Lee County flood zones, FEMA's 50% rule can require substantially damaged homes to be elevated or rebuilt to current code. Many homeowners policies include ordinance or law coverage, and flood policies may include Increased Cost of Compliance coverage. Both can help with these costs. We review your policies to make sure you claim everything available.

Yes. We represent condo associations, HOAs and individual unit owners. Coverage is often split between the association's master policy and each owner's unit policy, so we make sure both pay their share and nothing falls through the gaps.

We work on contingency, so there are no upfront fees. You pay a percentage only of what we recover, and Florida law caps public adjuster fees. If we don't recover anything, you owe nothing.
